just checking...you have set up your putty/unix-ssh profiles to autologin with your proper username, right?

if not, lemme know and i'll provide some instructions.

putty yes, of course. but I do not know this unix-ssh profile of which you speak, am greatly intrigued...tell me more tell me more! similar to ssh-agent?

it also really messes me up when I'm trying to navigate around the servers -- "/home/kd" tab-completes to kdaisy at home, but here I have to remember to do "/home/dai" to tab-complete. (and ~ maps elsewhere so I can't just use that.) I dunno why it's so hard for me, it just is. :/

the unix ssh profile (which has nothing to do with ssh-agent) is most likely documented in the man page for ssh_config(5). the relevant bits are most likely something like:

Host *.ogi.edu
User hollingk

Host *
User whatever

i say most likely since there are a few different ssh implementations out there..

also as far as completion, what shell do you use? i could probably whip up some setting for it so that if you tried to tab complete the wrong one it'd do the right thing.

dude. it's kdaisy. ;)

also, it's Kristy. spell it Kristie a third time and I'm gonna fly back there just to kick your ass, Christopher! ;)

I did figure out that I'm a total idiot, though -- I didn't have my logins stored in putty. adding that did make things lots easier...but isn't it less secure...?

I'm a bash girl all the way. something tricky for /home/[k|d]-tab-complete would be awwwwwwwwwwesome.

hey are your sisters in town???
